How best to export “tracks” as .mp3 with embedded exif such as title and artist information ?

I've got a track I've edited from a live concert.  It has markers set up for each leave track.  I want to export each track separately to create individual .mp3 files with artist and track information so that when the end user plays them back in their .mp3 player the information displays properly.  Can I specify this meta data when exporting?  Is there an easier way to export each track than going one by one and selecting the track area and exporting?

Correct answer SteveG_AudioMasters_

For individual tracks, the thing to do is to mix each range down (rather than a direct export) so that it opens in Waveform view. That's Multitrack>Mixdown Session to a new file>Time Selection, having selected the appropriate section first. Your mixdown will be a wav file anyway saying [name]Mixdown 1 (Audition only deals with wav files natively) so you'll need to do a 'save as', making an appropriate MP3 selection - but before you do it, open the Metadata panel, and in there put in the relevant ID3 data. This will save with your MP3. Make sure you've got a check in 'Save markers and other metadata' though, or this won't work.

 

No, there isn't really a better way to do this in Audition. If most of the data remains the same, then you might be better served by batch-processing using something like MP3Direct. In theory (which only means I haven't tried it) you should be able to save only the name in Audition, and batch-process all of the other data afterwards.
